911 V8 Conversion (Redo) Build

[scr8pinhrd]

Just figured I'd share my build/rebuild of my newly acquired 911/930. The car was built some time ago (I found a website documenting the build) and was bastardized along the way. I've always liked the 911 body style but never wanted to deal with all the Porsche tax cost of owning one. I'll be updating the project as I move along, so if you see something amiss, don't hesitate to speak up.

What it looked like when I got it home-




The first thing I changed were the front and rear bumpers -



Then gutted the interior completely & installed my new dash -

Made a new exhaust using Flowmaster Hush mufflers -

Dressed up the engine (changed the intake, headers, carb, distributor & alternator) changed the hoses and the way they were routed -

The radiator and gas tank setup was horrible to say the least, so I ripped everything out and started from scratch. I install a new 31 x 19 Howe Racing radiator and a flex-lite 4600 CFM fan assembly. Still waiting on the new fuel cell to finish the install and sheet metal covers. -

Very cool - looking good man!

Im currently in the same process with a V8 911. Do you mind sharing the part number for that radiator?

Howe Racing 342E, it's a tight fit but it does fit.

Looking good... Lets hear a sound clip and unleash those ponies...... what color you thinking ?

Is that a real 930 or a conversion? Any link to the original build?

Finished the radiator and fuel cell install.

This is from the underside, you can see the water pump and the fan assembly.

Not engine swap related, but since I've taken two weeks off from the build figured I'd at least show the progress on the car.
